| Obverse lettering | ELIZABETH II·D·G·REG·F·D·2 POUNDS· J.C (Translation: Elizabeth the Second by the Grace of God Queen Defender of the Faith) |
| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic low-angle perspective view of the Elizabeth Tower, commonly known as Big Ben, rising monumentally from the lower left toward the upper field of the coin, its Gothic Revival architectural detailing — including the clock face, ornate stonework, and lancet windows — rendered with exceptional precision. To the right of the tower, a foliage canopy of leafy trees occupies the field, depicted in frosted relief against a mirror-polished background, creating a striking contrast. The inscription BIG BEN · 2017 · appears along the upper left arc, with the engravers' combined initials LC·GD inscribed at the lower left of the design. |
